Try new graphics drivers anyway.
Also try going to the manufacturer's website to see if there are updates for the motherboard chipset/CPU.
Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines
Then post the results of these two programs:
<ul type="square">[*]CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
[*]HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

You need to update the ATI drivers.
Common error with ATI drivers 8.8 to 8.10.
My friend was running into the same problem with atioglxx.dll crashing his Loading screen. Doing a google search for the .dll turned up some forum postings that you could revert back to Catalyst 8.7 (Catalyst and actual video driver versions seem to be 2 separate things).
Somehow my friend's video driver update crashed and then caused the problem. Removing just the driver didn't seem to work, and any attempt to even install a new driver from the default VGA drivers failed. I found out that you have to go into Add/Remove programs and remove Catalyst, and the ATI Driver Uninstall Utility.
From there, I was able to install the 8.7 Catalyst driver from the card manufaturer's site (ATI didn't have a AGP driver for it, but Sapphire had their own driver/hotfix).
Some initial loading of CoH and running around ingame seems to be okay now.

today i recently reformatted a 200gb hard drive that was given to me from my dad and reinstalled windows and all the necessary drivers and whatnot. after installing city of heroes i ran into a problem.
After going through the updater and clicking next and OK i crash before the main window for login screen even opens. I mean at the little blue loading bar. It says the crash is occurring in the file "atioglxx.dll". I could have not downloaded something right with my drivers, but im nto sure what to do.
Can someone post a link for CohHelper so you can all know exactly whats in my pc.
thanks in advance!
